I’m still not happy with the internal density of this plant. Since removing the scrog it has contracted severely. Tie downs are just not enough. I had to go in and remove a few bud sites that were touching their neighbors. I may just take one day with this plant and remove all that is necessary instead of picking at it each day. Hopefully this won’t compromise the harvest.

I had to remove the Scrog. The netting was growing into the buds and I didn’t want it to compromise the harvest. This was fine for a day as the plant stayed spread out, but the next day it contracted. The interior was very dense and I was worried about bud rot down the road. I decided to defoliate a bit and tie down and it seems better now. I may need to defoliate or remove interior bud sites if the air flow is restricted. Roughly 3-4 weeks u til harvest.

Stretching a bit today. Trichomes are starting to form.

The plant from another angle. So many bud sites.

3rd week of flower. Defoliated today (removed most lower fan leaves and most of the top ones). I will allow it to grow out now, only tucking if it’s getting way above the other colas. I’m counting around 35 bud sites that will be significant.
